By River Roux
In the solo performance JUICE, developed by River Roux in co-creation with Bibiana Mendes, Roux enters a closed, transparent hexagon. The space makes Roux visible and exposed, but at the same time untouchable. Proximity is created without allowing access. JUICE examines the fascination with bodies "in between" and reveals the mechanisms of observation, projection and fetishization to which inter* and gender-nonconforming bodies are exposed.
Based on historical and current medical discourses, JUICE spans an arc from the display of inter* bodies in the 19th century to today's standardizing interventions. With poetic storytelling, slapstick elements and physical precision, the performance poses questions about the "natural" body - and about what happens when bodies refuse to be unambiguous.
JUICE is both intimate and political, vulnerable and resistant. A work that looks back - and does not leave it unanswered.
As part of 3 TAGE FREI.
